As with any high-quality item, the user must approach with respect and strive for a level of proficiency.
Or cover with Saran Wrap.

Dad REFUSED to accept it, and we ALL had agood laugh!

The worst gift, hands down, is that iPod loaded with his speeches that Obama gave the Queen!

But then Queen Victoria smoked pot for menstrual cramps...One of the reasons why libertarians are so hepped up on drug-law repeal is because there were no drug laws when laissez-faire ran high. None.
Regarding opiates, Paul Johnson noted in Birth of the Modern that the typical clientele for liquid opium were middle-class women of a certain age. Incredible as it sounds now, there may have been Woman's Christian Temperence Movement meeting where the party favor was lanaudum.
Bizarre, I know, but it shows how profoundly times have changed. To make the scene even more bizarre, such women would not have been hypcrites by the lights of the time. No social ills accompanied opium use back then, unlike alcohol back then.
Merry Speculative History Day.

Followed closely by the bunch of DVDs he gave PM Brown - who is legally blind.

In John Wayne's last movie,”The Shootist” his character guzzled laudanum to offset the pain of his terminal cancer.
It was not a prescription but a recommendation by Doctor Jimmy Stewart.

IIRC, the DVDs weren’t even for the right region.

To: Happy Rain
Yeah...times really change.
I think what pushed things over the edge was the introduction of heroin in 1898. It proved to be too strong and too addictive.
Bayer Company sold both. Strangely, there was more hope for heroin as a "wonder drug" than for aspirin. If you love history, you gotta love irony.
To: Huntress
LOL. You are correct. Wouldn’t even play in the UK.
To: danielmryan
Heroin addicts,if affluent and thus assured of a clean and easily acquired “product” can live long and healthy lives as the drug posseses no true toxic properties other than the addiction itself.
But the opiates,like THC,often makes the users too content and thus uninterested in industrious pursuits so they tend to become entitlement junkies and thus solid liberal Democrat voters.
Reasons enough to make drug crimes capital offenses don't you think?

I can forgive narcissism, particularly when it has some basis in excellent performance, but malicious tackiness and tastelessness...never!
And Obama isn't just a pathological narcissist without any apparent justification for such...he's tacky and tasteless in a mean-spirited kind of way.
When he returned the Churchill bust, I wanted to kick his teeth in and snap his skinny neck...in a nice way, of course.;-)
